I'm not dissin the award but they made it patronising by turning it into a consolation prize. Surely the band with most potential is in the top 5 or so and has the most potential to win next year etc etc

don't think it is given to the band who could win it next year... i may be wrong but thats why i assumed it was given by an open adjudication, as it always seems to go to the primary school bands etc.. it would always go the youngest band, as obviously they would have more potential to acheive better, being younger!

Kids need encouragement not disappointment. so what if it's given to make people feel better or so you say. at the end of the day it's still an award given to people who are young and need encouragement.

But i guess you're all far too good players to realise this.

Hope your bands don't win it in the future since you're obviously too good for a patronising award like that.
